Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”

Practical pseudo-collisions for hash functions ARIRANG-224/384 by Guo, Jian, Matusiewicz, Krystian, Knudsen, Lars R., Ling, San, Wang, Huaxiong

“…We use this approach to find near-collisions with Hamming weight 32 for the full compression function as well as collisions for the compression function of ARIRANG reduced to 26 rounds, both with complexity close to 20 and memory requirements of only a few words.We use near collisions for the compression function to construct pseudo-collisions for the complete hash functions ARIRANG-224 and ARIRANG-384 with complexity 223 and close to 20, respectively.We implemented the attacks and provide examples of appropriate pairs of H,M values. …”
